institutional racism to the killings of michael brown, tamir rice, eric garner, freddie gray, breonna taylor, and george floyd, as well as the vigilante killings of trayvon martin and ahmaud arbery and others. the white police officer who looked at the video as he kept his knee on the neck of george floyd thought he would get away with his actions because he and so many others had not been held accountable before. he thought he could get away with it based on his experience. we must change that. senator booker said we can have our moments of silence, we can have vigils, but that is not enough. it is not nearly enough. this is a moment that demands real action, real change, and real results, starting with changes in police practices and the systemic racism and institutions that shield those who engage in misconduct from accountability. those changes must include establishing truly independent oversight mechanisms to ensure that those police officers who betray the public trust are held accountable. we must ban outright the use of choke holds unless the officer's life is in imminent danger, and we must use fede

americans now know theam names f george floyd, breonna taylor, freddie gray and so many others. the current protests we've seen throughout the nation and threat the world are a direct result of an incredible leap in technology. where individual citizens and officers of themselves can recd interactions between police officers and members of the community in real time. madam president, what these troubling interaction between the police and the citizens that are sworn to protect or serve, we saw that on video. it's not new but we now have the evidence. they just happen to be caught creating stronger legal evidence of misconduct and abuse. today as our nation experiences yet another civil rights movement, this time during aem pandemic, i want to share with my colleagues and words of inspiration i often turn to in times of trouble. first is the constitution. we the people of the united states, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, the first mention in the constitution. so let us think how we in the united states can help to establish justice as we are to do by th

eric garner, michael brown, freddie gray, breonna taylor, george floyd, rayshard brooks. americans aren't marching because of politics. they are not marching because they want the senate to pretend to address this issue and hope it goes away. americans aren't marching because they want more studies and reports. no. americans from all walks of life, young and old, people of all backgrounds, religions, and nationalities are marching because they are sick and tired of learning about more names. they want the people who represent them here in this chamber to finally confront this deadly serious issue with the seriousness it deserves. and it's time we meet their expectations in this historic moment. this really is, mr. president, an historic moment. it's a historic opportunity for all of us to come together. it's past time to do something to stop the violence. it's time to come together and to do something big and consequential, and that's going to take all of us to be able to do that. just think about the big things we have been able to get done in the past decade or so. and

aftermath of the baltimore incident i mean what were the main differences this is between george floyd and the freddie gray incident in terms of the way that the lessons have or have not been learned and may well apply to the george floyd case now. i think that the lessons we learned or at least organization i think you see any quicker response both not only prosecution but the public as well on our how do you organize what to do moving or how to safely protest so here in baltimore we don't have the level of unrest after pretty gray i think that's up largely because the people who are in hot fire years ago a state of vast state active use that education they learned then helped to see each other and how to see us on what to do went out and do it and i think also you can see now the difference is the participation of law enforcement with the actual prosecution one thing we deal with here actually our state attorney here i most be with us she was actually in battle with the law the police department who actually thought her attempts to prosecute you don't see that happening now throughout the country and i t

we look at freddie gray, he merely made icon tact with a police officer. we look at george floyd. this is an allegation that he tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill during a global pandemic for groceries. it is absurd for black people in america not to feel threatened when it comes to their engagement with police. and so i think that it goes beyond political will and political courage of the prosecutor to actually have one standard of justice. there are systems in place that protect police officers from being accountable, not only in the courtrooms but outside of the courtrooms. we have to work with the police department. we need independent investigations. no profession should be investigating their own. and freddie gray, i can tell you search warrants weren't executed. we have witnesses to the actual incident that we're assigned to investigate to case. you had the most pertinent questions that weren't being asked. no profession should be able to investigate their own. that's one systemic sort of reform that needs to take place. when we talk about the law enforcement bill of righ

gray. eric garner. michael brown jr. walter scott. and george floyd.unarmed african-americans killed by police in very different sets of circumstances, but one study published by "the lancet" explored the many ways that police killings can cause long-lasting trauma for entire communities. joining me now is co-author of that study david williams. he's a professor of public health and african-american studies at harvard university. professor, thanks for talking with us. you found police killings don't just affect the victims but the entire community. >> that is exactly right. we looked at police shootings in the united states, nationally. there are about 60 police shootings each year on african-americans, most of them male. african-americans are five times more likely than whites to be killed by the police when unarm unarmed. and we linked that database on shootings with national data at the state level on mental health. and we found that every police shooting of an unarmed african-american led to worse mental health, not just for the family but for the

four decades and recent years, that's including cases like freddie gray, michael brown and we are seeing the same playbook with george floyd's tragic death. >> no matter what they said, mom is the word until we lay michael to rest, and then, justice. justice is the agenda. >> justice. do not condemn people. we do not get rest until we get one standard of justice. >> laura: after tragedy hits, sharpton swoops in with his justice. they leave the trail of destruction. sharpton's intervention made the situation more volatile and more violent. joining me now is horace cooper, hop author of how trump is making black america great again. why do sharpton keep getting away with this really lame act? >> it's a lucrative. it's absolutely lucrative. not in ferguson, not in florida with the trayvon martin case, not here and certainly not with tawana brawley. but it is lucrative. you don't have to worry about not paying their taxes, you don't have to worry about being responsible with the nonprofit status that you have, it turns out that it is quite lucrative. how many times was he invited to the white house? he practically had his own ro

george floyd died at the hands of the police. thousands will gather to remember floyd's memory at the first of several public memorials. jay grayoins us from the campus of north central university in minneapolis where no doubt thousands will gather there today. good the memorial will take place, the worship center just behind us and that's where lloyd's family and friends will be inside, and then the huge park here is where thousands are expected to gather and listen to a broadcast of the memorial there. this all coming after three more minneapolis police officers were arrested in floyd's death. across the country overnight, thousands of protesters spilling into the streets like they have ever night since george floyd's death. reresponding to the calls for justice. >> we're here today because george floyd is not here. >> minnesota's attorney general announces charges against three more police officers, two who helped pin floyd down. the state also upping the charge against chauvin, the officer with his knee on floyd's neck. the charges celebrated at the scene of floyd's death. but they point out, this is not the end of the figh

21 covering freddie gray riots in baltimore, maryland, and seeing freddie gray, and he looks like my cousin. or seeing george floydlooks like my uncle. or breonna taylor and she looks like me. or omar jiminez who works for cnn, and i think that is me. so these are self-reflections, and it's deeply painful when you continue to tell stories about people that look like you and your family. >> i imagine you can relate to that. >> yeah. and she just mentioned who look like you and your family. as a parent, i'm terrified for my daughter. the world that she is growing up in right now, what it's going to be like, if i can't be there to protect her. what's going to happen. and like jobina not fully processing things, it hits you, then it doesn't hit you, and you try not to think about it because you start to tear up. it's just this long process of trying to digest what's really happening. and why at this point in the world is it still happening? >> that's right. the inability to protect each individual child. that was said so eloquently by atlanta's mayor, as well. i can't protect you is is was saying. it's got to be the s

gray up until the pandemic crisis. everybody was hurting to stay safe, keeping a distance. then this thing comes up about george floyd. ok? granted, anybody can see the television, they can see what happened to the man. sure, it was wrong. but we have a judicial system. and for people to take it in their own hands and go out and rob and steal and burn the country down, it is only setting us up for communist countries to say that they have no law and order there. that we are disrupted. we can be attacked at any given time, because we are dealing and protesters. protest is one thing. the men are locked up, they will pay for what they did. and i believe they should pay. but that is not say one race is guilty for what four people did. host: let's hear from jason calling from montgomery, alabama on the independent line. caller: good morning. i wanted to comment -- i heard the interview earlier with mr. armstrong, and i have to say that i think drum is a devout comrade. it is hard for him to do anything good when he relishes being such a scumbag and the people around him cosign on it. people who support him do not call him

the murder of george floyd is not just an isolated incident it is the latest in an endless series of police killings of african-americans including eric gardner breanna taylor, freddie gray, and many others. and if anyone thinks these police murders have just begun to take place in recent years that people have cell phone cameras you are mistaken. this is gone on forever. the american people are rightly demanding justice and an end to police brutality. the u.s. senate has got to act now to hear the cries of justice coming from the african-american community the black community for all of our people we must act now so let me just suggest some ofe the items that's in the legislation that we passed. we can do more. in my view a police officer in a killing must be held accountable and those found guilty must be punished those include those that stand by while the brutal acts take place every single killing of a person by police or while in police b custody must be investigated by the department of justice and we must create a process by which police departments look like the communities that they serve and not invading armies. >> we need to abolish qualified immunity and wit
